Greetings! My name is Elizabeth Dwight and I have been the coordinator of the immerison program at Anwatin since 2010. Before that I taught at Emerson Spanish Immersion Learning Center for 17 years. I also taught in the New York Public Schools.

I received my B.A. from UW-Madison in Ibero-american Studies and Spanish. I received my M.A. from Columbia Teacher’s College in Bilingual/Bicultural Education.

I very much enjoy working in the immersion program because being bilingual in all senses (listening, speaking, reading and writing in English and Spanish) is a great benefit to our students. It has been a pleasure during so many years in the program to learn so much about the diversity of cultures in the Spanish-speaking world and to work with all of our familis.
